Are there any risks?
An ultrasound treatment for wrinkle reduction does not normally present any danger on healthy tissue. The sound waves favour the absorption of the applied cream into deeper skin layers where it can develop its effect. Most ultrasound devices work with a frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz.
The lower the frequency of the ultrasound device, the more intensive the treatment. However, treatment with 3 MHz is often preferred because it does not affect the deeper skin layers as much. Ultrasound treatment should not be used, however, in the case of a tumor disease or suspected tumor, the intake of blood thinners, such as Marcumar, bacterial infections, open wounds, thromboses, surgical scars. Furthermore, ultrasound treatment should only be carried out in moderation in the case of thin, sensitive skin.

How do I find a good ultrasound device?
Meanwhile there are many ultrasonic devices with different orientations and from different manufacturers, which are intended for home use. The price range for the different devices is between 100-300 Euro. When buying an ultrasound device on the Internet, you should make sure that a transducer for facial treatment is included with the device in any case.
In addition, you should be able to set the oscillation for the facial area to 3 MHz, in order to enable a gentle treatment of the facial area. With many devices you can also adjust the intensity of the ultrasound individually to your skin type. When buying an ultrasound device, please make sure that you do not buy one from unknown dubious manufacturers or Internet sites. A good research about high quality ultrasound devices should be done before you buy.
